IMHO too, and this said *without any aggressivity* (I don't want to be rude nor start a flame of any kind ;-) ) Leading a project means to have schedules and deadlines and objectives (private or public)... Just saying "this should be done at this time" does not take hours or endanger any project. In the same way, saying that a team is overtimed may help to get support, participation etc. Especially if it's said, not if it's guessed by the "crowd"... ;-) So I'm more in the position of saying "give infos" instead of "participate and you'll know".
Now regarding the fact of buying the commercial version is a open-source/commercial discussion that shouldn't interfere with on-time schedules or not (it's my own opinion, maybe not the best...). Because of the fact EFW community is free (no paying), people using it are ok to live without information ? We're talking about FW and that involves families, small companies, people that work and rely on EFW to keep their computers and datas safe... If you cannot trust a FW or cannot have a good vision of the future, than you can easily go see IPCOP or any other FW. It may not be as easy, but if infos are given, i'm good with it. The point is : paying or not, the efw team are involved in the project (wether they are enough or not) so they have to assume this. If the project is more successful than expected and they cannot handle it, than they have to tell it and people will come (i'm sure of it). More over, i think that when you're asked something, the rule is to give an answer or to say "i can't do it now", but say something. By extension, if the Endian team does not give answer to the community, do they give answer to their customers ? BEWARE !! i'm not saying that they don't, i just say that the good commercial policy is to give infos and that saying nothing to a certain category may lead to say nothing to all categories and induce a lack of confidence. Once again, i guess your mail was not aggressive, and mine is supposed to be treated as well, it's just a point of view that explains that infos are good for "us" ;-) Best regards Stéphane ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
